[Coding/Content] Ad

Aliases

• Ad
• animal detail
• partial animal

Definition

Ad is coded when the response names a part or detail of an animal rather than the whole animal.
It covers a tail, head, wing, claw, or other clearly partial animal feature.

Conditions

• The focus of the response must be on a part of the animal, not on the whole figure.
• The detail may be external, such as a paw or head, as long as it stays a partial animal feature.
• If the figure is a whole realistic animal, first consider scoring-input/contents/A.
• If the detail belongs to a fantastic or imaginary animal, first consider scoring-input/contents/(Ad).
• If the emphasis is on anatomy or internal structure, first consider scoring-input/contents/An.

Cautions

• Ad and scoring-input/contents/A are separated by part versus whole.
• Ad and scoring-input/contents/(Ad) are separated by reality versus fantasy.
• Ad and scoring-input/contents/Hd are both detail codes, but one is animal and the other is human.
• Not every biological fragment is Ad; if the idea is strongly anatomical, scoring-input/contents/An may be the better fit.
